Note to SG: I can categorically state that I have never said 'Blotto' in my LIFE.

On with the blog...

I'm feeling really positive lately. I've been working hard and it's paying off. Who'd have thought! I am always more inclined to blog when things are going well, so here I am!

I got naked on a beach a couple of weeks ago. I don't usually get the photos back from these kinds of 'glamour' shoots because they usually just get sent directly to the editors of whatever publication we're shooting for, but this shoot was a bit of an exception which is lovely. I really like how the pictures came out, I look much more like ME than what I do in a lot of shoots I do in this genre. I mean, the only place I look like ME me is right here on Suicidegirls. This place rocks, I am reminded of that every single time I shoot for another publication. But these photos have a definite passing resemblance to me (minus the heart surgery scars, oh photoshop) which is cool.

It was a terrible, stormy day but I stuck it out like the fucking pro I am! Haha. The photographer was great too, lots of fun to work with and not awkward about posing me or saying the word 'breasts'. It's only awkward if the photographer MAKES it awkward in my opinion. I'm annoyed though, I bought a whole lot of really nice bikinis on ebay for this shoot and they didn't arrive till today. Though the outfits I DID have were all pretty nice, so no complaining!! And now I have two awesome bikinis that I only paid $6 each for. If any of these pics get published, I'll give you guys the details, don't worry.

I also took some pics for the Viveros + Suicidegirls merch campaign. They're nothing fancy, just here in my house with my jeans on. Haha. I really like this one, I often wonder if I could maybe one day get signed to do normal clothing modelling. I love the naked stuff but I don't think of it as 'real' modelling because pretty much anyone can do it (provided you're willing to be naked in public). I kind of discount it's value a bit too, I guess.

Other than photoshoots, I've just been focusing on being a grownup (aka: keeping my clothes ON). I have started my own youtube channel about the Paleo diet and healthy eating/living. It's been SO FUN and I've made SIX WHOLE DOLLARS already! haha. This venture isn't about money though, I have been wanting to branch out and do something like this for ages. I am really passionate about paleo, nutrition and eating healthy. You can check out the channel here it's called SexyPaleoFood. I wanted to just call it SexyFood but that name was taken. Boo! I will probably upload a vid to SG soon with me talking about the channel etc. Just have to get off the couch and film it! I hope some of you guys get involved, I have never felt so healthy than what I have since going paleo/primal. It's great.

I've been busy with my architecture stuff too. Started charging more (ok, I doubled my fees) because I realised how much everyone ELSE in this town is charging. It feels like I got a payrise overnight but at the same time that payrise won't come into effect till I finish off all my existing contracts. Got to get on with it! Sometimes I feel like running your own business is 90% emails and 10% actual work. Does anyone else get that? I need to become more diligent in this area, I am SO lazy when it comes to normal work. I guess because no one is standing there watching me work or not work. Does that even make any SENSE?

And finally, my photoset is queued for March 8th. It's called One Ring and I shot it at Mt Cook National Park in New Zealand! SO EXCITED! I hope you guys like it, I love love love it so much. It's a bit rough around the edges, but I was in the middle of nowhere with snow and ice in the background and gale force winds so that's to be expected. I didn't feel very elvish, hopefully I look it, though

Now, I need to go watch more BBC Sherlock. I'm addicted. And probably in love.
